Episode 85: Tribute to the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes!

13-07-2015

At a height of 6' 2", weight of 275 pounds, and billed from Austin, Texas, the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes was a legend that transcended multiple demographics. A country boy who talked like he was black, he appealed to many, especially the blue collar crowd in the United States.

Though his career was legendary, his main controversy was the fact that he wrestled while he booked (http://www.infinitecore.ca/superstar/index.php?threadid=17384). Barry Windham disagreed with being in the main event while booking at the same time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ddviXaswVw).

Still, he was known for having a big heart. An example was shared on Facebook by Homer Shadowheart on June 11, 2015 (https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10152724952496706&id=511676705).
